• Onyxia Returns in 3.2.2! – Yes, you read that right! In honor of WoW’s 5 year anniversary Onyxia will make her triumphant return to the world of Azeroth in patch 3.2.2! This will be a permanent game update to Onyxia which will convert the dungeon into both 10 and 25 player modes for L80′s to enjoy. New items will be added to Onyxia’s loot table which will have the same model as some of the classic loot from this dungeon with stats updated to match the current level of content. There will also be a mount drop called the Onyxia Broodling which will be a 310% speed flying mount. The encounter will also be updated to fit with the style of more modern raiding. This is some really exciting news for both new and veteran players!_

• World of Warcraft Patch 3.2.2 now on PTR! - This happened much, much sooner than any of us really expected it would. For full official patch notes check Blizzards Forum here. Additionally, in the Path 3.2.2 PTR files, a number of new race/class combination NPC have been discovered by data-mining WoW enthusiasts. The data mined seems to indicate that several races will have the ability to roll classes previously unavailable to them. Like for example Human Hunter, Orc Mage, Blood Elf Warrior, Dwarf Shaman, Undead Hunter, Tauren Paladin and Troll Druid. Other thing those data-mining experts found was a Spectral Tiger Cub and Tuskar Kite. These two will likely be part of a TCG expansion at some point. There is also a Little White Stallion, a Little Ivory Raptor and the Onyxia Whelpling which will be added to the collection of non-combat pets. The Whelpling will be awarded to anyone logging in during the month of November as Blizzard’s Anniversary gift to all players (think Blizzard Bear). So, it sounds like there are some pretty cool new pets and mounts headed our way really soon. _
